Sugarhill Gang – Sugarhill Gang – Clear & Blue Marbled Vinyl LP
“Where hip-hop history began — now on standout marbled vinyl.”
A striking marbled vinyl edition of one of hip-hop’s most important early releases. The classic “Rapper’s Delight” sounds warm and rhythmically focused on this pressing. The analogue presentation keeps the basslines punchy and the vocals clear. It’s both a cultural landmark and a strong collector’s piece. A must-have for fans of old-school hip-hop.

The Doobie Brothers Create the Template for Yacht Rock: Grammy-Winning Smash Minute by Minute Features “What a Fool Believes,” Superb Harmonies, and Soulful Melodies
Sourced from the Original Analog Master Tapes and Given Extra Groove Space: Mobile Fidelity’s Numbered-Edition 180g 45RPM 2LP Set of 1978 Album Plays with Incredible Openness and Depth
1/4" / 15 IPS / Dolby A analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
Minute by Minute saved the Doobie Brothers even as it nearly broke the band. Created when the group felt uncertain of its place in the music world, the album catapulted the sextet to new commercial heights and signaled a distinct change in direction that the mainstream wholeheartedly embraced. Having sold more than three million copies and stayed on the charts for more than a year, the four-time Grammy-winning Minute by Minute remains a pop landmark — all the more impressive given few initially believed in its potential.
The Doobie Brothers Toulouse Street – Mofi 180g 45RPM 2LP Vinyl Record
The Doobie Brothers Create Lasting Feel-Good Vibes on Southern-Leaning Toulouse Street: Breakthrough Includes “Listen to the Music,” “Jesus Is Just Alright,” and “Rockin’ Down the Highway”
Experience the 1972 Album in Definitive Sound: Mobile Fidelity’s Numbered-Edition 180g 45RPM 2LP Set Features Extraordinary Soundstages, Vivid Dynamics, and Natural, Airy Openness
1/4” / 15 IPS Dolby A analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
For all intents and purposes, Toulouse Street functions as the Doobie Brothers’ debut. Though it released a self-titled effort in 1971, the band admitted the latter album was rushed and reflected the results of a group that had barely spent any time together. Toulouse Street unfolded amid far more favorable circumstances. Overflowing with feel-good vibes, it also touted key lineup changes that proved crucial to the band’s success. And it’s how most listeners discovered Tom Johnston and Co., setting the stage for a dominant run during the Seventies that ultimately led to the Doobie Brothers’ induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Doors – The Soft Parade 180g 45RPM 2 LP Analogue Productions Vinyl
A 2014 Stereophile ‘Record To Die For’
Mastered by Doug Sax and overseen by Bruce Botnick, The Doors producer/engineer.
Two 45 rpm LPs pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings

Tip-on jackets on thick cardboard stock
“One of the best efforts from Ammons' extensive catalog. A fat, warm, rich sax tone — you know, the one you immediately identify as Jug — is on display in all its glory on this great Moodsville release. Feeling tired and stressed out? Give Uncle Gene a spin. Besides perfect pitch, Ammons' other special gift was a melodic sense that allowed him to effectively convey feelings at slow tempos. Here is a great jazz ballad player given full scope to spin his charms." — Stereophile, February 1995
The Velvet Underground – Loaded – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series Hybrid SACD
NOW BACK IN STOCK
Loaded is the sort of proper album that feels like a greatest hits collection, with each track thoroughly inhabiting and mastering a dominant rock archetype. Although the songs "Sweet Jane" and "Rock & Roll" distinguished the band as a "seminal proto-punk" act, "The trifecta of 'Who Loves the Sun,' 'Sweet Jane' and 'Rock & Roll' is among the best three-song openings on any rock and roll record," wrote Paste contributor Jeff Gonick
The Young Rascals – Groovin’ – MoFi Mono SACD
Mastered From The Original Master Tapes For Supreme Sound
Simultaneously elevated and bypassed by the artistically prolific year in which it was released, the Young Rascals' Groovin' remains high-water mark of a collective Rolling Stone boldly proclaimed "the blackest white group of all" in 1970. Home to three Top 10 singles and a diverse array of pop music in step with the era's exploratory creativity, the set belongs aside the Beatles' Sgt. Peppers' Lonely Hearts Club Band, Love's Forever Changes, Jefferson Airplane's Surrealistic Pillow, and 1967's other pioneering recordings. Particularly now that it boasts definitive sonics.
Tonar 5976 – Pure White Perspex Turntable Mat
Mats Matter
During the past 20 years the quality of record players and vinyl records have improved dramatically. Acoustic feedback is one of the big problems when playing records. The cause is the sound that has just been produced by the speakers which comes back to the record player and cause it to vibrate. The problems is that there is a very slight time difference between the reproduced sound and the sound that is fed back onto the record player. This results in a big loss of detail and clarity and makes the sound "muddy". So every effort has to be done to isolate the record player from its surroundings as well as to isolate the record from the record player. Diameter 295 mm Thickness 3 mm
Train – Drops of Jupiter – Mofi SACD
Triple-Platinum Train Album Awarded Two Grammy Awards: Drops Of Jupiter Contains The Hits “Drops Of Jupiter (Tell Me)” And “She’s On Fire”
Sourced From The Original Master Tapes And Strictly Limited To 2,000 Numbered Copies: Hybrid Sacd Plays With Openness, Airiness, And Smoothness
New Release SACD Very Limited, Only 2,000 Numbered Copies!
There’s definitely nothing wrong with echoing classic rock and harmonic pop sounds, especially when it’s done this well. Drops of Jupiter, Train’s two-time Grammy-winning 2001 album, revels in sweeping hooks and soulful comfort borrowed from proven 70s methods. Remarks of jealous critics aside, the approach resonated with the public and made Train a ubiquitous presence of mainstream radio, a status the group still enjoys.
